The
green-white-red tricolor was officially established in 1821. Green
is for independence, white for Roman Catholicism, and red for
union. The emblem depicts the scene supposedly witnessed by the
Aztecs in 1325: an eagle with a snake in its beak standing upon a
cactus growing out of rocks in the water. The flag was modified on
Sept. 17, 1968. |
